We’ve had our AppleTV for over two years. It gives us access to just about anything we’d like to see. We stream iTunes, Netflix, Hulu Plus, podcasts, our own photos and videos, and, thanks to the mirroring ability, anything that is showing on any of our computers.
We even stream our church’s services when we are home sick. (btw: having church while cuddling on the couch in jammies with your family is pretty much the definition of awesome.)
One of the things that, in the past, we only sporadically checked out, was YouTube. Frankly, the search capabilities on the AppleTV are horrible, and it’s next to impossible to dig deeper than the main topics they give you on the main page. However, as we searched for some we knew we wanted to see, we began finding other recommendations that we all enjoyed.

That being said: here are some of our favorite YouTube videos for January 2013. Some are new, some are new to us and some are ‘classics’ (as in 4 yrs ago – not the ’50s):
